What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

The surface cooking area has been in operation too long.

What F8 means

A surface cooking area that stayed on too long triggers F8. The automatic shutoff was activated. The entry is for electric (radiant) cooktops.

Codes easily confused with F8

FC LF a different kind of code, about the left front Hotplate. F6E0 another code that starts with a power reset.

What to do first

  • Switch the surface cooking area off.
  • Take utensils off the surface cooking area and allow it to cool; the automatic shutoff has been activated.
  • Take power away at the circuit breaker(s) for the cooktop and wait out one minute.
  • Next, restore power with the breaker(s).
  • Allow one minute watching the cooktop and note whether the code displays again.
  • To finish, check that the cooktop operates normally.

Should the code reappear, a technician is the next step.
